The researchers, led by Nagi Kumar from Moffitt Cancer Center in the US, assessed the safety and effectiveness of the active components in green tea to prevent prostate cancer development in men who have premalignant lesions.

The researchers administered decaffeinated green tea capsules called Polyphenon E that contained a mixture of green tea substance called “catechins” twice a day.
